Baker, a recognized subject matter expert, emphasizes the firearm's technical excellence and rejection of lowered manufacturing standards.

Project Rimfire aims to provide standardized, comparative data for .22 LR handguns, addressing a gap in fragmented reviews. The series categorizes handguns and employs a consistent testing methodology including speed-focused stages, practical accuracy tests, and mechanical accuracy evaluations. This approach helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions for training, pest control, or recreational shooting.

Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner Ammo provides an expert review of the Beretta 1301 Tactical after a decade of ownership and extensive use. He highlights its robust gas system, accurate barrel, and numerous factory and aftermarket upgrades that enhance its performance and reliability.

This guide covers the fundamental safe handling and operation of an AR-15 rifle. It details the four universal gun safety rules, proper clearing procedures, loading and chambering a round, and basic shooting stances and grip. The video also touches on sight usage, including red dots and iron sights, and emphasizes the importance of disengaging safety only when ready to fire and re-engaging it immediately after.

This video by Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner Ammo delves into the reliability of the Sig P365-380, particularly its sensitivity to ammunition and grip. Using high-speed camera analysis, Baker demonstrates how factors like slide velocity, bullet weight, and grip pressure directly impact the firearm's ability to cycle and eject spent casings, leading to potential malfunctions. The review highlights that not all .380 ACP ammunition performs equally well in this platform and emphasizes the importance of thorough testing with chosen carry loads.

Mastering snub-nose revolvers involves addressing their inherent challenges: poor sights, recoil, heavy triggers, and small grips. Improving sights with bright paint or aftermarket options, managing recoil with steel frames and .38 Special wadcutters, and refining grip and trigger techniques through dry practice are crucial. Aftermarket grips and proper finger placement enhance control for accurate shooting.

This video tests the WWII M1 Carbine qualification course from the 1942 field manual, involving 40 rounds across five stages at 100, 200, and 300 yards. The speaker, Chris Baker, scored 172 out of 200, highlighting the challenge of the 35-second time limits and the difficulty of precise shots at longer ranges without modern aids or extensive practice. The course emphasizes foundational shooting positions and skeletal support, offering transferable skills for adaptability.

The High Standard Sentinel is a 9-shot .22 LR revolver, originally a budget-friendly 'tackle box' gun developed with Sears Roebuck. Designed by Harry Sefried, it features an aluminum frame, steel barrel/cylinder, and unique cylinder release. Despite its age, it offers good accuracy for a snub-nose and is safe to dry fire.

This guide explores the common advice of shooting handguns with both eyes open, detailing its benefits like improved peripheral vision and reduced eye strain. It addresses the challenge of visual confusion and offers expert advice from Gabe White, suggesting temporary squinting or closing an eye to clarify the sight picture when needed. The role of red dot sights in facilitating both-eyes-open shooting is also highlighted.

This guide details the thumb-forward grip technique for traditional rifle and shotgun stocks, as explained by Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner Ammo. This method enhances safety by preventing thumb-to-nose recoil injury, improves action cycling on manual actions, facilitates easier safety manipulation, and can lead to better trigger control and overall comfort. It is distinct from grips used on modern sporting rifles with pistol grips.

This video from Lucky Gunner Ammo, featuring Chris Baker, debunks the 'tactical hobo' aesthetic and advocates for integrating concealed carry into personal style. Baker emphasizes that modern holster technology, like the PHLster Enigma, allows for comfortable carry without dictating wardrobe choices. He also highlights how appearance influences social perception and potential victim selection by criminals, citing Dr. William Aprill.

This video debunks the 'brush gun' myth, demonstrating through controlled testing that even traditional brush calibers like the .30-30 Winchester and heavy hitters like the .45-70 Government experience significant bullet deflection when encountering small obstacles. Instructor Chris Baker uses pine furring strips to simulate brush, showing that all tested calibers, including the .223 Remington, are susceptible to trajectory changes and destabilization. The key takeaway is that no bullet is a true 'brush buster,' and hunters should prioritize clear shots and use optics to identify obstructions.
